UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 August 26, 2016 Mr. Bryan C. Hanson President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - CORRECTION LETTER TO LICENSE AMENDMENT NO. 115 RE: ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO CONFORM THE RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE TO REFLECT THE DIRECT TRANSFER OF OPERATING AUTHORITY (TAC NO. MF2588)

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On April 1, 2014, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 115 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML14091A366) to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18 for Exelon Generation Company, LLC, the licensee for R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna). This amendment revised the Ginna Technical Specifications (TSs) by making changes to reflect the direct transfer of operating authority from R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC, to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, as approved by Order dated March 24, 2014.

Following the issuance of the amendment, the NRC staff noted an administrative error on the license page for Amendment No. 115. In particular, the footnote on page 1 is missing the date of the Order for the direct transfer. The correction to page 1 is enclosed and replaces the previously issued page 1.

This administrative error does not affect the staff's overall conclusions associated with approval of Amendment No. 115. The change is within the scope of the application as originally noticed in the Federal Register on December 26, 2013 (78 FR 78411 ). We regret any inconvenience the error may have caused.

B. Hanson If there are any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 301-415-3629.
